Thats the question were posing to celebrities and their beauty pros in our new series,Just One Thing.
I remember so vividly being in the sixth grade and watching the seventh graders start to wear makeup.
I think it was a rule that you couldnt wear makeup until seventh grade at my school.
And I remember all of a sudden all the girls were doing tightwaterline black eyelinerevery day.
And I was like, That is the coolest thing you could ever do.
I could not wait until I was in the seventh grade and I could experiment with eyeliner.
Until the end of college, I was doing just black tight lines on the top and bottom lid.
I was really givingthat pic of Miley Cyruswhere she’s smiling with those crazy eyes.
I asked a friend who was wearing it, like, How did you draw that on?
And she showed me that basically, youdraw the little pointand then you connect it.
You draw a little triangle.
But I was a natural at mine, I have to say.
And Ive been doing it ever since.
And if it’s just some random day, its always a perfect wing.
When I have a show or a performance, I do a really intense, long line.
An everyday look is more of just a little flip.
I actually really like the Amy Winehouse way.
The up and outthe way it sort of pulls [the eye up] up.
I like that look.
Its the best one.
It just stays on.
And I’m like, Oh my God, am I going to succumb to that?
But I think it’s a classic look.
Eyeliner is something that’s so simple, but it adds such a dramatic effect.
It has such power.
